Hello Everyone,
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday #3!! This time I want to show you my friend Karen's quilt, (which is truly wonderful), that she brought over to me to do the quilting. No, it is not yet quilted. When it is, I will make sure I show it to you. I am thrilled with this quilt because it is one that I have actually been longing to do.
This serves as my inspiration for our ALL day sew-a-thon on Saturday, just Karen and I!! Yippee!! I am so excited. Anyway, check out this fabulous quilt...
Quilt skillfully made by my talented friend Karen.
All the swirls in the middle, purple, black and white are appliqued. So, of course in my version, I will be machine piecing! I will be using the templates from the Sue Ross BOM that I really never started... shhhhh don't tell anyone. So yes, I already have been giving this quilt (Karen's) some thought.
Karen used a mix of patterns from Piece O' Cake Designs to create this quilt.
The spikes are paper pieced from scraps. This I will do in the same manner. I will be using Karen K. Stone's book for this one. My friend Karen, did some gorgeous applique on the borders.
Mine will be minus the applique. I absolutely love applique, but it is something that I just don't have the time for right now. I hope that I will at some point in my life though. My border will be paper pieced as in Karen K. Stone's book. Love the look!
So yes, I will be starting a new project on Saturday with Karen and I am just way too excited!!
Something also to be excited about is that today is Wonderful Wednesday. You know what that means, something special in my shop is on SALE!! All patterns are 20% off!! Just use the code patterns20 at checkout to get the discount. Click here to look at all the glorious patterns.
Another thing to be excited about is my friend Pat Sloan! Well, her new rulers, but you should be excited about Pat too.
Anyway, stay tuned next week for a unique experience filled with recipes, fun stories, and wonderful rulers. But best of all one lucky person will walk away with a COMPLETE SET of Pat's new rulers. You heard that right a COMPLETE SET!!! How exciting is that??
There are several bloggers in on the hop, I am one of them. Later on this week, I will post the schedule. But Pat may have it posted today. So, stop by and say Hi to Pat and tell her I sent you.
Until Next Time...

The quilt is absolutely fabulous! Especially I love the swirl blocks, but applique - how on earth are they done?
Hi ladies!
Once again I am overwhelmed by all of the wonderful comments you are leaving regarding my quilt! It was a year in the making, but only because 'life got in the way'! Go figure!!! Anyway, the center design is from Piece O'Cake Designs and their book 'Quilts with a Spin' and the outside edge is from their 'Applique Outside the Lines' book. The whirlygig blocks are done by needleturn applique, as is all of the other applique. I am a fan of applique, what can I say???? Spikes were paperpieced and the blocks were machine stitched together. Can you tell I LOVE color?
Again, thank you all for your warm and wonderful comments - I know Jackie will make this quilt sing with her amazing quilting talent! I cannot wait to get it back.
Karen

WOW! Wow-oh-Wow. I may have to go get a paper bag to keep from hyperventilating. I LOVE that quilt. I've been wanting to do that swirly block for a long, long time. What a GORGEOUS quilt!!!
Wow, that IS a wonderful quilt! I can't stop looking at it!!!
Incredible. Spectacular. Unbelievable.
